The best thing about cockpits is that it's easy to use, has many options for customization, and is very intuitive! There are some aspects I would like to see improved - such as the ability to customize colors more easily (and perhaps have them be saved in an option file). It also doesn't seem possible to delete or edit existing pages without having to go back into Admin first. We built our entire website with Cockpits. This allowed us to build everything from scratch, while still using their templates/themes.
